We shared a sneak peek photo of this casual Hendry House wedding last week. Here is the recap. After I first met with this couple and found out their wedding was to be held at Hendry House, I set out to secretly plan an all-Arlington Virginia wedding. Being an Arlington based business ourselves, I believe in supporting local small businesses. However, I didn’t want my desire to influence my client’s decisions. Ultimately, I thought we did pretty well and were able use quite a few professionals from Arlington. Enjoy all the bright and cheerful colors of this spring wedding! — Vicky

Heather Sheire of Livin the Pie Life in Arlington baked these goodies. Not one crumb was leftover!

The Hendry House is a hidden gem in Virginia, tucked away in a residential neighborhood. It’s the perfect backdrop for a late spring / early summer wedding featuring bright pops of color. For events with a larger guest count, you will need to install a tent.

More to share with this lighthearted wedding in Arlington, VA in the coming weeks. Here is a sneak peek photo of a white picket fence made by one of the couple’s friends. Very appropriate, no?

Photo: Jay Premack“Dear Vicky, my mom is STILL raving about how much fun the wedding was, and we had a really fun time as well. We could not have done it without all your help, that’s for sure! Thanks so much! We were just at my cousin’s wedding in Chicago this past weekend, and noticed how stressed she and her mom were about all the last-minute details coming together … I couldn’t help but think how much more relaxed I felt by comparison on our wedding day, and how most of that was due to you taking control of all those details on our behalf. All I did was show up and more or less trust that people would find me when they needed me. (Did you task one of the catering staffers to follow me around with crab cakes, by the way? If so, that was awesome.) So, yeah, we had a blast … Thanks again! Sally & Evan”

Happy Anniversary to Stephanie and Rob who married last year at Chrysalis Winery in Middleburg, Virginia. Being that they love Chrysalis so much that they are VIP members, it made sense that they would want to have their wedding there as well. I remember the huge rainstorm that appeared as we were almost done with the rehearsal (luckily, the tent had gone up the day before so we could run under it); and an unexpected windy gust that blew the ceremony arch down during set up (thank goodness we weighed it down for the ceremony). What I remember most clearly was a beaming bride, and a dance some of the guests performed to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. So much fun! Thanks to Katie Stoops for sharing the wedding photos. Enjoy — Vicky

Noticed we put a turf carpet down for the aisle since it had rained so much the day before to keep the walk down the aisle nice and dry. Luckily, black was in our color scheme. Note also the beautiful arch by Devers. Photo: Katie StoopsA close up of the ceremony arch, keeping in style with a winery wedding. Arch by Devers Design Group. Photo: Katie StoopsPhoto: Katie StoopsLoved the color scheme – very classy and timeless. Devers Design Group did an amazing job with the centerpieces. Notice how wide the glass vase is to prevent tipping in the wind. Photo: Katie Stoops.The bride had gotten corks from Chrysalis Winery, cut them in half, cut a slit on top and used them to hold the escort cards. Photo: Katie StoopsExcuse my poorly composed photo but look at the cute topping on the cupcakes by Cupcakes Actually in Fairfax. There were little grapes and wine bottles, in line with this winery themed wedding. Photo: Vicky ChoyI love tent shots at night. Photo: Katie Stoops.
